[Where will Android 7.0 change? 】
As the two operating systems with the largest number of users at present, which one is better, Android or iOS?
Users who like iOS value its high program execution efficiency and good system fluency. At the same time, due to the uniqueness of hardware, there is basically no software compatibility problem and a large number of applications. Users who like Android take a fancy to its open source, open system and good customization. The application covers a wide range and the price is relatively cheap.
With the debate between users on both sides, iOS evolved to version 9.0.Google also officially announced recently that it will hold the 2016 I/O Developers Conference on May 18th this year, during which the most striking thing is the release of Android 7.0.
At present, there are many rumors about the new features of Android7.0. According to these rumors and the changes of previous systems, we also made a guess and launched a fake evaluation about Android7.0.
The vice president of Android Engineering once said in an interview with the media that Google has changed the release strategy of Android system to "Annual Cadence of Big Releases".
At last year’s GoogleI/O Developers Conference, Google brought people a new version of Android M system, in addition to Android Wear, VR and other projects. Through the naming of previous generations of systems, we can see that Google has a good preference for food names, but for the naming of new Android systems, this year seems to be different. At present, most of the guesses are Android N.
The outside world hopes that Google will strengthen security, ease of use of tablets, parallel application of multitasking, etc. At the same time, it is reported that Google is pulling into the distance between Android and Chrome OS.
Major system changes are usually accompanied by various bugs, so every generation of new systems will always improve the problems and missing contents of the previous version. For example, Android M has improved the power consumption of the previous Android 5.0 exposure, increased the function of managing permissions, customized the notification bar, etc. The new system has also improved in some minor aspects, and the whole system is more user-friendly. However, from the UI point of view, 6.0 has not changed, and it still uses the interface design of 5.0.
So besides the interface changes, what will Android 7.0 improve?
[Make up for the shortage of finished versions and upgrade independently to solve fragmentation]
Solve fragmentation-independent upgrade
First of all, we know that the fragmentation of Android system is very serious, and it has even reached a level that restricts the development of the system. By the end of last year, the upgrade rate of Android 6.0 has not reached 0.3% for several months after its release, which is only higher than that of Android 2.2 Froyo system, which was released in 2010, and its current share is only 0.2%.
On the contrary, the adoption rate of Apple’s iOS 9 system is 75%, and the remaining majority share is occupied by iOS 8, and the proportion of early versions is almost negligible.
The upgrade rate of Android6.0 has not reached 0.3% since it was released several months ago.
The main reason for this problem is that Google system upgrade cannot completely avoid manufacturers and operators. Whenever a new system is released, only Google’s own Nexus devices can get a quick upgrade. For non-Nexus devices, it will take a long time to use the new system, so Android 7.0 is likely to adopt an independent upgrade method.
At present, the upgrade function of smart APP has begun to APPear, so that users do not need to install the whole APP, but only need to install the parts that are not available in the existing version of the app, thus reducing the scale of system upgrade.
Android 7.0 can refer to this model, first upgrade the core functions, then hand over the changes of interface and software functions to manufacturers and operators, and then increase them, then everyone can quickly upgrade the new system, thus ending the fragmentation of Android.
Improve password management
The program password management function in Android6.0 is not complete.
At present, fingerprint identification has become the mainstream, and Google Nexus 6P/6 is equipped with a fingerprint identification module for the first time. However, in Android 6.0, the smart password lock function is placed at the bottom of the inconspicuous settings menu, and the program password management function is incomplete. If you uninstall or reinstall the APP, the original settings will be restored.
The smart password lock function allows users to log in to the APP automatically, but there are still many apps that don’t support it. Android N may improve this function and make it easier for users to use the password management function.
More reasonable authorization management
At present, the authorization of Android 6.0 APP is decentralized, which means that users can choose specific individual authorization, or they can let specific programs refuse authorization and change settings at any time. This function makes many users puzzled, so many domestic manufacturers develop their own software to help users manage authorization better.
APP authorization of Android6.0 is decentralized.
On Android 7.0, it will avoid the authorization status that users need to look for patiently in the APP settings. With better authorization management function, its process will be more intuitive, users can better control the authorization of APP while keeping the whole process simple, and major manufacturers only need to slightly modify the authorization management.
Solve the problem of large screen of mobile phone-one-handed mode
With the smartphone screen getting bigger and bigger, there are countless large-screen mobile phones in the market. Apple has launched a 5.5-inch iPhone 6S Plus, not to mention Android.
There are many Android phones over 6 inches on the market. Although the screen view is large, the big-screen phones also bring distress to those who like to operate with one hand.
Smartphone screens are getting bigger and bigger.
The common practice of domestic manufacturers is to increase the one-hand mode, and achieve one-hand operation by reducing the screen display content. iOS can also pull down the screen content to the middle by touching the Home button twice, but Google officially has not optimized the large-size mobile phone. Therefore, it has become an exciting thing for Android 7.0 to join the one-hand mode.
